Tuesday, March 25, 2025: TWOfer Tuesday - The "I Don't Know Much About Rap" NSFW Edition

I don't know much about rap.  All I do know is there is nothing like the vibe that came out of early 90s rap.

And, as the title says, these songs are NSFW, so be warned.  I try every day to keep this blog as family friendly as possible, which, honestly, is a challenge sometimes.  

I do what I can to avoid "explicit" lyrics.  But, once in a while, the cool overrides the caution.

And make no mistake, these songs are sub-zero cool.  This whole era was magic. Chill, velvet smooth and creative as heck.  So, apologies for the language.  I'll mention it the next time I'm at confession.

Along with confessing how much I love early 90s rap.  Forgive me, Father, for I got cooool taste.

Yesterday's post focused on the downside, the negative, the unfortunate....those things that give us the blues.

And there are many things these days that would have that effect on us.  But, you can't have the peaks without the valleys.  You can't know the light if you've never been in darkness.  But the valleys of darkness are only places we walk through.  We should never allow ourselves to make camp there.

Or homestead there.

So, here's yet ANOTHER Canadian group (are there any uncool Canadians?  Probably not), a wonderful trio who have been kicking around since 1993.  Off their 2004 release, here's to moving along, and finding something beautiful.

Monday, August 8, 2011: Reel Big Fish - Sell Out

Monday posts are usually centered around work, going back to work, starting the work week, etc

I appreciate that this is slightly unfair to those who have to work weekends, or those who work different shifts than the day shift.

But, regardless of your work schedule, work is a large part of our lives. Getting education to find a good job, looking for a job, being at a job, getting fired/quitting a job, looking for another job or whatever, employment encompasses a large part of our world.

So, if that's the case, why not just do what you love?

And, hey, if you can sell out while doing it, even better

No, I'm serious. Would you rather flip burgers, have nothing and retain your "values", or play music for a living, and get to have a pool, go to Europe, date hot chicks, and get comped at clubs?

Well?

Something to think about for your Monday.
